What does it take to become a financial lawyer?

Question

Because I really want to go to college... and I'm working on that. But anyways is it true that financial lawyers make close to a million bucks a year? Because I heard this from a friend. And believe me, I would love that kind of money. Anyways, if this is the career I choose, what should I expect?

Answer 1

They do make a lot of money because they solve very hard problems.  You have to do your 3 years of law school.  If you volunteer at the police department to help during the summer you will see who is making the $1Million salary and you can meet them.

Answer 2

There might a lawyer or two that make that much. Most do not. Go to www.salary.com to find the average salary of a lawyer.
